The Italian maritime-port cluster asks that Mario Draghi remain at Palazzo Chigi
Continuity is needed in government action that - explain the representatives of the sector - cannot and must not be jeopardized. Assoporti is also worried about political instability
July 18, 2022
"The geopolitical tensions that show no sign of diminishing, their disruptive consequences on the international economy and the need to proceed quickly in the implementation of the Plan National Recovery and Resilience - continues the note - impose a necessary continuity in government action, which cannot and must not be jeopardised.'
The Association of Italian Ports (Assoporti) also demonstrates concern about political instability and possible effects on the competitiveness of ports: 'the hypothesis of political instability - specifies the president of the association,, Rodolfo Giampieri - worries us because it is at a time of great uncertainty worldwide, and of relaunching the port sector also thanks to the funds to disposal. We have addressed the issue with all the presidents of the Port System Authorities - specifies Giampieri - and we believe that uncertainty could slow down procedures and activities necessary for ports in terms of competitiveness and development, also in view of the next scheduled deadlines for projects included in the PNRR. This slowdown would be a damage to any government in office and for this we hope that this can be averted."
